Conviction is in itself power. The
man who is sure Of what he says, gives
assurance to those who hear him. With
the world as it is, most men do not know
what to believe, nor do they care to be at
the trouble to find out for themselves
what they ought to believe. When,
therefore, a man comes before others
with conYicting of his own, and asserts
it with positiveness akin to inspiration,
those of his hearers who are hesitating,
or who are unconcerned, are likely to be
swept along by his intensity, and to be-
lieve what he believes because he more
than believes it. A man may have q:
wrong conviction, and so do harm by his
power of impressing it upon others but
if man has no strong convictions, either
right or wrong, he must not expect to In
spire others to a belief any stronger than
his own. The elemental power Of q
preacher is an overpowing conviction.
Unless man believes truth 80 firmly
that he is willing to live or die for 1t, he
has no fitness to be preacher OF that
truth, whatever 1t be. -...-

To Obituary Writers.
Ne,p Orleans Advocate,

John Wesley was remarkable man in
one peculiar respect. If ever q man had
a reason for writing a long obituary, 1t
was on the occasion Of the death Of his
remarkable brother, Charles. And yet,
according to his biographer, Rev. John
Telford, this Is the obituary he sent forth
to the world: Mr.. Charles Wesley, who.
after spending fourscore years with
into Abraham's bosom. He had no dis
ease; but, after gradual decay Of some
months, ~
"The weary wheels Of life stood still at last"
His least praise was his talent for poetry,
although DR.. Watts did not scruple to say
that that single poem, "WrestlingJacob,"
was worth all the verses he himself had
written.

Love came to me one summer day,
Amid the mounds Of fraer hay,
Laughed in my face and went his way.
Again, when autumn woods aflame
With good and scarlet were. he came,
And Whispered low dainty name.
And when the winds grew white with SHOW
And high north winds began to blow
He PASSED me by with footsteps slow.
And now wonder will he bring
His priceless gift when robins sing,
And blossoms deck the path of spring.
For by the roadway to his gate,
Clad as befits my lowly state,
Humbly, 4 supplaint, wait.

1t is a mistake to suppose that even lit
tic children are too young to understand.
The quality Of child's mind is just the
quality of mind that our Savior has
taught us that adults must acquire before
they will receive the truth. But we do
not give children credit for the acuteness,
could be greater mistake than to sup
pose that the only way children can be
interested is by telling them stories. And
yet this is one of the blunders that many
good men fall into when they speak to
children and the stories are usually Of
kind calculated rather to smuse than
instruct. We believe that no simpler
our Lord himself has given us. II we
err at all in preaching to adults, 1t is in
the direction Of obscuring the simple
teaching of our Lord with our profound
verbosities and subtle PHILOSOPHERS.

The proposition to make the vote Of
eight out Of twelve jurors conclusive
shows radical misunderstanding of the
principle upon which the jury system Is
established. The idea Of requiring un-
animity is to give the prisoner the bene-
fit of every reasonable doubt. When
twelve men agree the law assumet that
the evidence must have been such as TO
strike all minds alike, so that il tho
jurors had been a hundred instead of
twelve in number they would still have
been unanimous. This theory is over.
thrown when the verdict is referable to q
majority vote, and the element Of doubt
is at once introduced. It won't do.
